The village has a number of permanent residents which helps to give it a more traditional Alpine village feel than the villages higher up, and families will enjoy exploring the narrow cobbled streets.

Skiing in Courchevel Le Praz

Most of the runs directly above Courchevel Le Praz are reds and blacks, and Intermediates will enjoy returning home along the tree-lined pistes. Beginners will be happier returning by bus or cable car after sessions on the nursery slopes or the good selection of green runs at Courchevel or Courchevel Moriond.Experts will no doubt want to explore the full three valleys ski area, taking in Meribel and Val Thorens as well as the extensive off-piste.

Le Praz is a traditional village set amidst the woodland and due to this quiet setting is ideal for a family holiday. Nightlife is quiet and centres around the local bars. Le Praz also has road access to the resort of La Plagne and its extensive ski area.
